Lakers Rumors: Celtics wanted Julius Randle in Rajon Rondo trade

The Los Angeles Lakers missed out Rajon Rondo earlier this month when the Boston Celtics decided to deal their All-Star point guard to the Dallas Mavericks.

While the Lakers were in pursuit of Rondo, they fell short after the Mavs agreed to part with Brandan Wright, Jameer Nelson, Jae Crowder and two draft picks for the Celtics’ highly coveted point guard.

The purple and gold’s best offer for Rondo was Steve Nash, a 2015 first-round pick from the Houston Rockets and two second-round picks, according to Marc J. Spears from Yahoo Sports.
